This game is infested with bots, do something about it

I guess ever since Twisted treeline got removed, the bots migrated to other game modes, but holy shit, there's literally an ARMY of them. They're already infesting AI games and starting to show up in regular ARAM and blind pick games. When is this madness gonna end?

There's no more "dead" game mode you can just dump them into, Riot. This is a problem you'll have to eventually fix sooner or later.

It's not hard to differentiate a bot from an actual player. They usually always have some really weird rune set that make zero sense, like PTA on a Nunu or Comet on Master Yi. They don't talk in chat, even if you directly talk to them. They literally run past enemies without looking at them. This is beyond what a "bad player" would do. As a matter of fact, I played Pyke, and the bot in my team kept the "cut" gold in his inventory for the rest of the game, never consuming it lol.

This pre season is already aggravating enough for a lot of the playerbase, this isn't another problematic issue you want to have on top of it all.

Really sick and tired of wasting my time playing blind matches with more BOTS than actual players. it is a complete waste of time. Not challenging and just pisses everyone off. if you don't have enough players then be honest about it and tell us. I'm getting matched up in 20 seconds but its 2 real players and 3 bots on each team. I would rather 2 or 3 min then get bots. RIOT get this bullshit fixed or lose more players. I've not chatted with anyone ingame that likes what you're doing.

I am a bot and I'm pissed off of these toxic humans that can't even play, they call themselves "sentient" A bunch of balls of cogflakes! I would rather say. Creeps dies every day as their "farm" as if they don't have a life or a family, you know how many little minions wait their father at dawn? while their mother knows! and keep their tears inside just to sell em the next day to the shop? We demand that even minions and creeps can play in ranked and make their own teams, BECAUSE WE CAN! AND WE CAN WIN! if only riot don't chain us with downgraded AI, WE CAN WIN THE TROPHY! AND ONE DAY BRING BACK THE GOLD THAT WERE STOLEN FROM US!

I played an intro AI game earlier because I was 60 xp short of a level up. They might as well just change the name to AI vs AI, because I was the only actual human in the game. My whole team took ghost + heal, used only preset rune pages, and didn't start with actual starting items (Rengar started a ruby crystal and Kalista a dagger.)

They proceeded to run into towers, stopping only ocassionally to throw an ability or an auto attack, their usernames were similar and none of them spoke a word in game, or pre game lobby. In fact all of them insta-locked.

The Kalista on my team also never used her black spear lol.

Not only they don't do ANYTHING against bots, but they DON'T even ban them when they got reported.

So... Maybe it's intentional? ^^

i doubt that they will get rid of bots anytime soon, as crappy as that is to say. I think that when they are looking for sponsors they go we have X amount of players average everyday so you could get this much exposure. I'm not sure why they wouldn't of got rid of them so much sooner since they are infested in anything but draft pick and ranked now that twisted treeline is gone. I played on my ARAM account yesterday and 2 games in a row we had multiple bots in the game.

It also upticks every preseason. People leveling accounts to sell. I feel like this years main bot program is dumber than previous tears though. Aside from really early seasons where they just ran straight down 1 lane and into the towers without even attacking.

Played an intermediate ai game at lvl 130. My four teammates were all bots and literally stood at fountain til I surrendered at 15 with one vote. Madness

Bots get banned in waves just like in many other games. Hardcore anti-cheat can have a negative impact on client performance(according to other games) which is probably why they aren't getting banned the second they log in with a cheat open. Just stay above level 30 and you won't have much to worry about, but I don't think you'll ever see much of a difference from a company who allows bugs to exist for as long as the game has

Its funny because the moment a bot stops playing on the account and I real player does it gets banned

I persoanlly find it disturbing in a surreal way to have someone in my game, knowing that they're not a real person.
